Review: BSN Salted Toffee Pretzel Protein Crisp

I bought a box of these on my friend’s recommendation. I was a little bit hesitant at the start since I personally think 240cal is alot for a 20g protein bar, but I was convinced to give it a shot.

The bar is much thicker than the usual bars I buy, which gave me some hope for it being filling and tastier. But when I bit into it the only thing I could taste was the sweetness and artificial flavouring. I have had my fair shares of sweet bars, but OMG this bar was on another level. It was even sweet as a snack bar! and even the unsweetened green tea couldn’t make eating it bearable. Luckily the bar has some texture to it thanks to the crunchiness.

Nutrition facts are similar to other bars ofcorse, with much higher dosage of saturated fat and sugar. The 9 grams of sugar clearly explains the insane sweetness flavour. I’m not really sure how much fiber was in the bar, but I did feel hungry immediately after eating it.

Overall experience of taking it was not pleasant! There are indeed much better bars out there, and I definitely will not go back to this in the future.
